Macy woke up in bed with a wet towel on her forehead.
"Where... am... I...?", Macy asked, confused. Hugging her, her mother said through sobs, "When we got home we were calling your name *sob*, and you weren't answering... and so we looked everywhere *sob*, and you were passed out on the bathroom floor *sob*!"
That night, Macy went to her window and looked out at the evening sky. Suddenly, scales burst through Macy's skin, and, out of instinct, she jumped out the open window, and stuck to the side of her house. Okay, so, what? She's freaking Spider Man now? Macy proceed to grapple herself onto the roof of her house. Like freaking Spider Man.
Macy, feeling great about her superpowers, jumped from one house to the next, around the entire city, until about 3:00 in the morning. Then, she jumped back to her house, and into her room, where she discovered she could talk to Walnut The Second. She asked Walnut The Second what her superhero name should be, and he came up with Lizard Man. And so, the name Lizard Man stuck, and Lizard Man moved out of- His house? Her house? Uh...- the house and, taking Walnut The Second with him, became the greatest historical figure known to lizardkind.
THE END!
